Let’s just say I’m glad this is the last year my child is at this school and the countdown has begun! The decline in morale, leadership (especially), and education is something that needs to be reviewed starting with the principal, Kelly Edwards. The extremely high turnover of staff (some that were present since the inception of the school and left last year in 2024-25 school year) should be questioned as to why they cannot keep anyone employed at the school! There have been at least 5 AP’s since she has been onboard! The staff look like zombies as I know firsthand that they are overwhelmed and under supported. There is no communication unless it’s to benefit the schools finances (fundraisers) or test scores and the community is over it! No matter how many complaints are made, year after year Kelly is still leading the school to its inevitable demise and nothing is being done about it. Even when she does make herself present, she avoids contact at all costs, almost as if she is afraid of the very job she is employed to do! When confronted by a situation, she is quick to blame everyone or just dismiss the issue altogether. I only step foot on campus when absolutely necessary and every time I see her, she looks and acts as if she is completely clueless of daily procedures and the staff looks as if they’d rather be anywhere else and it’s shows by the high turnover. Hopefully the new superintendent is reviewing these complaints and does pop-up visits so he can catch her lacking and how the school is actually operating. Good luck to the future of that school!
